PORTLAND gridiron lovers will have their first opportunity of seeing a college team in action Thursday afternoon on the Multnomah field, when the Oregon 'Aggies line up against the "Winged M" team in the annual Thanksgiving day contest. There is a great deal of interest in the contest, judging from the big advance sale. . Hundreds of O. A. C. students will reach Portland Thursday morning to root for their team, which is confident of giving the clubmen a hard tussle for the long end of the score. Coach Har giss is drilling the Aggies with all the hopes in the world of beat ing the "Winged M" aggregation. Included in the line-up of the O. A. C team are a number of former Portland Interscholastic league stars: Joy Badley, Tucker, Thompson and Powell of the 1-ranklm High school team, lipp man off Lincoln, and Knapp and Hodler of the Columbians. Coach George Dewey or tne ciun men put his players through two hard practices Monday and Tuesday 'nights and they are now ready for the whistle. Just hew the club will line up against the Angles has not been announced by Coach Dewey, but it Is expected that the same players who started against Camp Lewis will be in the game at the opening, whistle. Tint Game In Two Yeara Thursday's contest will mark the first appearance of the O. A. C. team in Portland in two years. The club members plan to turn out in great numbers to root for the club team. This year's ag gregation is looked upon as one of the best that haa represented the club In recent seasons. There is more teamwork to the aggregation and the players take a great deal of interest In the game. The disappointment caused by the cancellation of last Saturday's con test by the nfarlnes seems to grad ually disappear as the date for the Aggie contest approaches. Captain Tom Louttlt of the club team today Issued the following statement regarding his Interview which appeared in Sunday's Journal and which was considered scorcher : "In justice to the Multnomah club, its board of directors, the football team. Manager Bert- and myself. I must say that my statement in last Sunday's Journal was in many ways a mistake on my part. Regarding the sportsmanship of the board of directors, I will say I have always found them In the past to have been square and am sure I would never have made the assertion about their 'unsportsmanlike conduct had I heard the club's side of the differ ences with the Mare Island, marines football management. "The contract the club offered the marines was, much to my surprise, nearly an exact duplicate of several contracts in which 'all other teams met the club in past seasons on the club field. The contract O. A., C. has signed is the same as the one the marines refused. "I will not say that T. as well as the boys on the team, are not disap pointed In not having the chance to try to lower the marines' colors, as we figured on giving the, fans a treat and the 'devil-dogs' a hard tussle." Sam Dolan will referee the con test and the other officials will-be selected this evening. THE 105-1 (feth football Squadron team will play the Sixth squadron team of the Vancouver barracks Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock on the Multno mah Amateur AtbleUe club field. The 105th-l 06th squadron team Is hanging up a good record this season, having been defeated' In but one contest. Manager Drewery of the headquarters team Is very anxious to play a , return game with the military, police eleven, but there seems to be little likelihood of the game being. staged as the M. P.'s want to rest on their ' present laurels, says Drewery. .- The Franklln-Jefferscn contest sched uled to have been played this, afternoon on Multnomah field, has been postponed on account of the Walla Walla-Franklin game, to be played in the Washing ton city Thanksgiving flay. The post poned game will be played December 2. The Jefferson-James John game will be played December 6 instead of Decem ber 9. The Columbia-James John teams will tangle on the club field Friday after noon at 3 :15 o'clock. The Columbians have been coached by Hughle McKenna during the past week and expect to make a great showing against the James 'John team. Washington Defies California Seattle, Nov. 27. (I. N. S.) To de cide the Intercollegiate football cham pionship of the Pacific Coast, the Uni versity of Washington has Issued - a challenge to, the University of Califor nia for a game at Berkeley December 7. Although California has not yet re plied, it is believed acceptance of the proposition depends on the outcome of the Washington-Oregon contest here on Saturday. Farmers Welcome Show at The Dalles The Dalles. Ts'oy. 27. A heavy snow fall opened the winter season In The Dalles 'Tuesday! completely covering the surrounding hills. The snow started to fall at noon following a sleetstorm In the morning and a heavy frost Monday night. Local farmers looked upon the snow as a benefit towards next year's crops. NEW BOXING ;ElMN?felVEN FIGHT GOER Smokeless Smoker Will Be In augurated When Heilig Is Taken for Boxing. By R. A. Croala PORTLAND is. about to give to the world of .- sports the "smokeless smoker" butnot the fighUess night, or knight, as the case may be. It will be an experiment In boxing in these parts and has to do with .the leasing of the nice, big Hellig theatre for the boxing bouts thin winter. If you want your boxing tan to give up the golden egg, make, It nice and warm for him. Ask any chicken fancier and he'll tell you that the biddy that is kept nice and "Warm, will lay twice, as much as the Minorca that has to shiver to keep body heat going. But things will go even further than heat. The .boxing fan will be requested to leave his cigars and cigarettes and the old dudeen at home, because the theatre is used for things other than boxing and can't afford to have a smell of stale smoke clinging to the lace cur tains. Also, the boxing fan will be re quested to bring along his own sputum receptacle, as expectorating, or, in the lexicon of the ordinary fight fan, spit ting, will be tabu, which is the way they spell "cut it out" .in Honolulu talk. Old Stuff Is "Tab" Bill Pangle, manager of the theatre, sees the dawn of the mlllenium for the anti-smoke legions. "They say that smoking cuts down the speed of the box ers, so lets cut out the smoking and have the boys show us some regular air plane fleetness," said Bill this morning. "The boxing fan will have a chance to come into a nice new playhouse and the place can't- be left stale with tobacco smoke. Also, there is the ordinance against spitting during the flu time, so the boys will be asked to be careful." . He Grows Enthusiastic "Usually, in his enthusiasm, the box ing fan may pick up a bench in the gallery and toss It through the pro scenium arch, but I hope the boys will take kindly to the new regulations. Let us make Portland first over the top' when It comes to. having 'smokeless smokers.' I'm sure we will all pull to that end." Thursday, December 11. is settled as the date for the first smoker of the boxing commission in the Hellig. The change from the Ice Palapo because it was thought the big arena would be too cold for the boxing fans, although admitting that it is an ideal place for the smoker. t Matchmaker Tracey has four of h'.s bouts signed and is no looking fcr an opponent for Morris Lux. He is thinking of bringing Billy Wright from Tacoma to meet Lux, and this ought to De a good fight.' . "CV Nofcle Killed by Stell K- r k t ' v : " Hurlturt Deatk Is Confirmed IX A story sent home from the' Forest of Argonne by Joseph Tlmmons, cor respondent of the San Francisco Exam iner, who Is with the Jlat division, we ran across these paragraphs concern ing, a former football star of tha-Pacific Coast, who was killed by a Ger man shell : j "Here In front of the wire lay stark tragedy. In the horribly grotesque at titudes of batUefield death -were figures in olive drab, each covered by a rain coat which- had become a shroud of olive drab. One shell had struck them down at the same instant. Their, com rades had paused only to cover them, and then had gone on like veterans through that -wire and across that field while shrapnel crackled in the air and high explosive shells geysered the earth about them and ' machine gun bullets sang past -their ears. -Findt His Friend "Beneath one of those thin coats lay the. torn body of a lieutenant I had known, not a Callfornlan; a famous football star, a splendid, big upstand ing, officer. Idolized by his men. His magnificent body had been no stronger to resist the shell than had the weak est body there. A splendid thing was done for, smashed instantly into a frightful thing. "The big, , homely face of this man was always lighted with a singularly winning smile. Almost' at our first meeting he had called me "Joe," and In a short time I had come to admire and love the man as a rare product of the western . slope. A great, genuine loss was inflicted by the bursting shell that blotted out that smile,. I. had seen many Americans dead on the .field be fore, ' but not the bodies of men that I had known and loved. As I stood there shaken with jrrief and horror, a great revolting deteataUon of war came over me and a bitter, choking anger at the conquest-mad Germans who had, forced this most horrible thing in his tory upon mankind." fletnre of "Cy" Tlmmons has pictured a perfect word picture of one of the greatest backfield players in the history of football in the Northwest, the big. . homely, lovable Blmer "Cy" Noble, Unlverstty of Wash ington hero", whose death was recently reported.
